All- I've tried to search the forum but no luck for my situation. Today I had been using my 8528 just fine. I opened the phone to start a txt message but the screen backlisght went off and the items on the screen got small lines running thru them. I tried a soft reset at the time but it didn't reset. I then removed the battery but the artifacts on the screen remained. i replaced the battery but it owuld not turn on. I tried another soft reset but nothing. i took the battery out for several minutes and then tried again, nothing. I plugged it into the wall charger but nothing lit up and it would not power on..... what the hell is going on??? thanks!
Mine did the same, just gave it a hard wack in the palm of my hand and the screen came back on ...... at your own risk.
Other than that it has been bullet proof .... lol

We don't say "hard whack" here we say "scientific tap"
Essentially, if it's a slack or slightly oxidised contact then a "scientific tap" may work, otherwise it's dismantke and extract and re-seat all the connectors. (assuming you don't have a Warranty,if you do, then use it!)

looks like one of the screen slider retaining screws came loose and probably shorted something out. I took it apart and looked around but didn't smell anything funny. I put it back together but still no luck.... the screw short is the only thing i can think of.....???
mine did the same exact thing yesterday.
i tried all the "white screen" fixes I can find.
I will be upgrading to a newer faster phone now ...

Hey all,
I haven't used my Universal for a week and the battery had gone empty. When I charged it today the screen doesn't react anymore to a stylus press, it can only be used by the keyboard. There is no response of the screen on its whole surface and there is no screen protector on it. Any suggestions for a resolution would be grateful???
And I am using a WM6 PDAVIET ROM and 1.15 Radio if it does any matter at all

Odd that, I had simlar the other day. Turn off, remove battery, re-insert battery , turn on again. Any good? Fixed mine!
Good luck

remove the screen protector if you have any and apply it again away from the edges without any part of it stuck between the plastic edge and the screen

This was the first thing I tried but unfortunately nothing changed. Then decided to try some soft resets - nothing, then a hard reset - nothing. Now am going to trq a reflash. Any other ideas??
P.S. I have never used a protector.
If it worked just after the ROM flash and has stopped now then it sounds like the touchpad has stopped working then. If it's still under warranty, get it replaced as this shouldn't happen.
You can try a re-flash first but if you have hard reset already then this is unlikely to help as the original files will be restored by hard resetting.
If it's not under warranty, then open the case and check the connections internally are correctly fitted. The screen part can be replaced fairly easily if need be.
Today i pulled my phone out of my pocket and when i looked at it the screen was stuck on a white screen. I tried pulling out the battery, but it wouldn't get off the white screen, i tried soft resetting it, still white. I tried leaving the battery out for about an hour, still white when i turned it on. I then got home and hooked up the USB cable to it. Active Sync finds it, but it's still white. Then i tried reflashing the phone, the flash was successful, but the screen is still white when I turn it on. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks!
Try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. Also read up on this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163&highlight=whitescreen
had same problem... be brave, download dissassembly instructions, pull hermes apart(dont worry about taking everything off the motherboard) and push the lcd plug back in FIRMLY. especially if you've dropped the phone repeatedly. Did it saturday. also used mike channon's instructions to stop the damn keyboard opening all the time. If I can do, ANYONE can do it. just take it slow and read the instructions carefully. take time to make sure you understand & plug everything back in (2 connectors, line camera focus up with lever and put battery cover release in the right way). Good luck and check the wiki for instructions....
PLEASE NOTE : you will void warranty to do this so if its still in warranty send in for repairs or as Mike says to do "replacement".... Cheers...
The title basically says it all. I have a rooted mytouch 3g and the phone works perfectly fine when you are using it. The problem comes when the screen turns off to go to sleep. when I try to turn the screen back on to wake it up, it goes all berserk. I get these horizontal black and grey, monochromatic lines that pop up and move all around the screen. If it gets back, it kinda freezes on there, then the screen turns black again. I have to try to wake the phone back up and it keeps happening still. It's only after the fifth or sixth try that the screen still does it, but then my lock screen FINALLY comes up and I can unlock my phone. However, at times, this does not happen at all, not even a little bit. I'm stumped. i have reflashed my cyanogenmod that I had on it and it is running the latest because I thought maybe that was it, though I doubted it because I have two other mytouch's and a g1 that are running the same ROM and have no problem like that whatsoever. can anyone shed some light on this issue please. I would really appreciate it. I have been worrying over this all day trying to fix it to no avail. Once again, thank you for any help I get.
LOOOONNNNGGGG shot from a noob! Factory rest? pull the battery for 5 min? What vs of ROM r u running?

I did a wipe. Reformatted the memory card as well. I had cyanogen 4.0.1 then 4.0.2 and now 4.0.3 but had the same problem with all of them. Just havent pulled the battery but i doubt it will affect it.
Had the same issue when using a few of the Hero roms. would hit the button and the screen would flash some junk on the screen and then go back out. Had to hit the button about four times before it would finaly come back on. Have not had that problem with Cyanogen's though.
This is kind of a retarded question but its worth asking. Has the phone ever been wet? Have you takin into the bathroom while you shower? I have been thinking long and hard about disassembling my MyTouch just too see how its built (it still has a warranty, DAMN void stickers). Just by looking at the back with the cover off it is very suseptable to humitity. I do alot of phone repair and i have seen this problem many of times when there is corrosion on the flex cable. its only spazzes out when theres a sudden power surge. Have you tried a factory ROM
The MyTouch i use to flash roms on to "test" em out use to belong to a freind. She had droped it into her cranberry juice and vodka one night (I'm sure it was a great night). After disassembly to remove all the sugar before reboot i took a good long look. They are EXTRMELY easty to dissasemble and reassemble. about eight screws total for removing back cover and boards. Few connections. Give me a bit and I'll see if i can figure out how to post pics.
AS promised. sorry for the bad quality. By the way, After cleaning all the syrup from the boards with 91% rubbing alcohol, I have flashed it about 12 times looking for a good rom.
Hi Guys i hope somebody who knows about capacitive touch screens can help me! I have taken my HD2 apart to fix a smashed camera lense. On removing the back cover i used a small screwdriver to prise off the back case and unclip it all round. It came off with no problem, i fixed the camera and put it back together. When i turned the device back on the touch screen isn't responding to my finger on any screen. Like i turned the touch screen off! The hard buttons still wok but nothing from the screen. Nothing looks damaged (I.e the glass isn't smashed). I seem to think i might have damaged something when prising the cover off with the screwdriver. Please, any suggestions would be really helpful!!!
Can anybody out there help with this? I am currently without a phone :-(
I have exactly the same problem, but it happened from nowhere. I didnot unscrew anything. Please Help
Check the flex cable.. this part are very delicate.

same problem
ive got the same problem, mine just stopped working, i performed a soft and hard reset, removed the battery still nothing. it worked for a moment but once locked it stopped working again, only the hard buttons.
same problem but it works on and off. basically the screen will respond until the phone is put into hibernate. the after that id have to push the phone button and end button back and forth until it responds
Same Issue independant of ROM
Same issue here.
Funny thing is it started a week or two ago randomly out of the blue.
Same scenario:
lock the phone can't get touchscreen to respond for unlock
Judging by these posts everyone started seeing this about the same time, maybe it's a software issue or background app .
Help!
I have same problem. It can work for a couple of hours or in 1-2 days then just stop responding, almost every time when in hibernate. Lets just hope it's not hardware failure.
This started happening to me this morning. Out of 50 tries, managed to unlock the phone three times only. This happened out of the blue, right after i removed my phone from the charger.
Have soft reset, hard reset, reflashed ROM, but the issue still remains.
I really really hope this is not a hardware issue.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this? My phone is virtually unusable right now...
Same problem here, I've been testing for about 2,5 months now and today I've sent mine back to HTC . I think it's a hardware problem, tried everything from hard resetting to reflashing. When I press the HTC logo and keep it pressed the screen does respond again. Conclusion: hardware problem.

You're probably right.
I've also tried everything. But kind of strange that if I lock when not on home tab it seems to work. And the screen, almost always, reacts as it should as long as I just dont' lock it.
I just started to get this issue. touch screen works fine until it hibernates. reflashed, still happens. found this in my search:
htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/
just got off the phone with tmo. they are sending me a new one.
Yeah, it happened to me as well. I opened a new thread like a month ago explaining the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710282&styleid=15
and I contributed in another one concerning the same issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708530
Summing all up, it ain't caused by a software or a ROM of some kind (at least in my case) because soft and hard resets didn't solve it nor did the flash of a stock ROM. The most probable cause is a digitizer (touchscreen) defect that appears randomly and totally out of the blue. The only thing to do in my opinion is to send the phone in for repair, which I did. It came back with a check mark on "calibrated screen" checkbox. As of now phone's working fine and I hope they solved it even though I read of other people who have had their leo's screens completely replaced..
A curious side note: htc care reset to zero my phone's call duration timers..
I'm not sure if it's the screen. In my case I think it's the connector from the screen to the motherboard, because pressing the housing seems to help.
But let's see if HTC is able to repair it, I hope they are, because the problem is so random they might not even see it
After losing functionality on my touch screen for a week, finally decided to send it in. Took the trouble to revert my HSPL to original and Stock Rom.
Repair should take about a week. Now I'm stuck with an ancient Nokia 6230i for this week. I feel so lost without my ppc. Have had one for as long as I can remember.
Hopefully the phone comes back okay...
I've had so much problem with the screen not responding so I did all backup then reflashed, hard reset to put the device back to stock. Did this during the weekend, I even fired up my old iphone 3g to have as backup phone.
All set today to go to the store and have it repared under warranty.
But since Sunday evening it works perfect. I've been testing it a lot and the screen has not stop responding even once.
This might be just temporarily but does anyone else experienced something like this?
Mine sometimes worked well for hours... days... but eventually the problem came back.
Mine died on me when I was actually out of the country (stuck in Vietnam without a phone). It would work for 5 minutes, then stop for hours. I would have to switch my phone on and off for a couple hundred times before it worked for another 5 minutes...
Got so tired of it that i sent back my HD2 for warranty repair. Expect it to be back tomorrow (or Friday at the latest). Hope there's no further problems with it.
I hate to say it, but the HD2 is known for its highly defective touchscreen. Even when it's working, a lot of people experience strange and bothering events, such as the touchscreen "touching" itself, a very high/very low screen sensitivity all of a sudden, the tilting of the screen to one of the four corners of the device and so on and so forth.
With a device so expensive one would expect it to work flawlessly. Seems to me that HTC doesn't think the way we do...
Hello,
I have a Moto X Play which is in great condition, I use a case and a screen protector.
Today I went for a walk and grabbed my phone which I hadn't touched in awhile. Once I got outside I realized it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. Strange, maybe I left an app on.
I get home, plug it in, and it's at 75%. I play with it a bit and put it back in my pocket.
A few minutes later, I can't get the screen on again. I figure, I'll plug it in, reboot it to clear the glitch, it's all good.
It just won't light up.
I can locate it, it's updating its location, I can call it, it vibrates, it responds to buttons (but not the screen) Nothing seems to be wrong with it other than the screen.
I've tried everything to do a reboot, I've plugged in the short circuit usb dongle thing that usually puts an android device right into debug mode. I think it is rebooting but no screen action.
I have the latest OS for the device (whatever the not-so-new one is) and I am unrooted, locked, whatever I haven't messed with anything like that.
What can or should I do? I am just recently out of the 1 year warrantee.
Thank you,
-Phil
Hold down your power and volume down buttons until it turns back up(night take some time) into the bootloader screen and try to factory reset it.

I've tried this, so far no luck. A bit of an update:
I brought it to a shop, they gave it a light twist and the screen came back fine and was in the setup wizard (as I had remotely reset it). They said the display port may have plugged back in, gave it back free of charge. By the time i got back home it was off again. I brought it back in to have them open it and reattach it for real. This didn't help. They tried attaching a brand new screen, same issue. The screen doesn't light up for reboots, not for factory reset, nothing. I am guessing this is an issue on the motherboard but the fact that a light twist "fixes" the issue suggests to me a light soldering could solve the issue. The repair shop gave it back to me as unfixable but I don't want to give up on it yet. I did have an opportunity to get a Nexus 5 in good shape for 140$ so I did that for now. This gives me time to mess with the Moto X Play. Any ideas?

Ive been having the same issue with my x play, so try this out. turn it on, and have a look at the screen under a bright light, see if you can make out anyting. The backlight might not be coming on, but the screen will still 'turn on' so to speak, you can still make out whats on the display, touch input works etc. I have an issue with the display connector, with a bit of pressure it will work then not work, almost as if the backlight shorts out. it took me awhile to find out that that was the problem. as for a fix, if its the same problem I'm having, then you'd probably need a new mainboard. I've tried everything, new screen, new battery, swapping covers etc.. I have 2 x plays to tinker with and swap out parts.
I've tried using my new phone's flashlight to illuminate the screen with no success (though I will try again tonight, I'm not 100% sure it's on). Looks like mainboard run somewhere around 120$ before the repair cost, seems like it's not worth it. I'll post back after I double-check to see if the screen is there or not.
If it's shorting, I would think it could be fixed with some careful soldering? I do know that when I turn my phone on (remember it's been hard reset and has no SIM card) it vibrates every few minutes, I have no idea why. That's the only odd behavior it's been experiencing aside from the display not showing up.
I tried to look for any sign of the screen showing up by using string light and I didn't see anything that might suggest anything is showing up.
